Bad dog

Ok, so last time I posted it was because puppy was misbehaving at night, seeing in the bedroom, we went back to basics leavingburr downstairs again and it stopped, only in the last week or so she's started messing indoors a lot! We have been at home a lot so have been letting her out more than when we are at work, but now we let her out she goes for a wee, kicks about for a bit then comes inside to poo! If it's not that she just goes into the hall or landing and wee's. She knows that she's done wrong because she acts all sorry, dh is getting annoyed with it and I just don't know what to do!

As you have been home she may be just showing off, try and get a routine for her every day ie same time feeds and toilets apart from that and basics again. She still is very young by your avatar ages   

Thats what we thought - shes 7 months now :-D x

A case of showing off then I would think, stick with it and do stick to routine xxx

Do you have a word you say when she goes to the toilet outside?
Whenever we let or take Bane outside he will wee no problem but will mince around for ages before pooing. Sometimes he will even go back to the door to be let in and we just call him back, say it a few more times and he goes. Maybe she just needs a bit of encouragement. If you let her out by herself, maybe start going out with her again to monitor her and encourage her when she gets sidetracked

We go with her,as does the other dog,shes back on the lead atm for recall training so is watched. It jst seems she cant be bothered with waiting etc.x

I work in a school so have a break every 6 weeks or so, Sasha really shows off for the first couple of days ie not doing as shes asked, not using her manners etc. We used to get it at weekends too but I've learnt not to alter my behaviour when im on holiday ie giving extra treats, more cuddles than usual. Its hard because I miss her when im at work and dont get time to walk her etc during the week. We've found that if I just keep a low profile and don't act any different with her she forgets that I shouldn't be there. Althouhh saying that she still gets jealous when her dad gives me a cuddle and usually finds her way in between us lol x

Im hoping it will go back to normal now - Molly just acts like "I dont care if you are here, light the fire and let me sleep!" so Ruby being naughty is strange.lol.
